Simran Malhotra Firstly, I'd like to thank all those who didn't get offended by the skepticism showed in this movie because with people, you don't know what happens. Especially, in a country like India where people are so sensitive toward everything. Secondly, this movie is the pinnacle of sensibility. It shows how exactly people are manipulated in the name of God and how much they fear Him instead of loving Him. A middle class businessman and his battle against all those who have manipulated religion and its traditions and cultures according to their own will and above all God. The casting is perfect. Paresh Rawal proved it once again that there's no role in this entire world that cannot be played by him. Akshay Kumar looks perfect as Lord Krishna. I don't think anybody else could've played Krishna better. His personality, dialog firstly, I'd like to thank all those who didn't get offended by the skepticism showed in this movie because with people, you don't know what happens.

I don't think anybody else could've played Krishna better. His personality, dialog delivery and the aura that he creates is commendable. Mithun Chakravarty couldn't be better. His portrayal of a fraud 'saadhu' is spot on. In conclusion, Bollywood needs more movies like OMG instead of the crap that we see these days. delivery and the aura that he creates is commendable.

Swapnilagarwal OMG...what an year it is turning out to be for Bollywood!! 2 extreme cinemas, both ruling the same roost bole to 1 myan me 2 talvarein! One belongs to the likes of masses, masala entertainers (Rowdy Rathore, Ek tha Tiger) while others that matter the grey matter (a full list of them that begun with PST and Kahani and now unstopped at OMG!! Coming to OMG now..rather than writing a full review, i will mention its gist just like the acronym it is:1. Another non-chocolaty main protagonist - Paresh Kanjilal Rawal. He is known for putting life in whatever character he dones and this one is no different.2. "Religion is the opium of masses" and more so in a diverse nation like ours where the opium comes in different flavours. Making an eye- opener on such a sensitive topic is not as easy as it seems to be. It might appear preachy in patches but nevertheless its like a lecture we get from our parents after we err; and one leaves the cinema-hall with the same guilt. The movie tends to redefine 'God' and 'Religion'.3. Akshay as God might not sound like a believable bet but as the film progresses and by the time it ends one starts looking beyond AK to feel the real Krishna.4. Mithunda (doning looks and mannerisms of Sri Sri) is the surprise package of the movie. His performance as the diplomatic yet feminish religious guru was seriously - kya baat..kya baat...kya baat!!! Govind Namdev tickled through his loudness.5. Other supporting cast seems to be an ensemble of deja-vu characters from TV ads, nevertheless, endearing and non-starry.6. Music is well woven in the movie. Though some people find Go Govinda out of place, I feel, it does add some pace and rhythm to the story. A couple of others like "Main to nahin" and "Hare Rama" move intertwined with the movie.In all, OMG is a brave attempt from Hindi Film Industry targeting to make people understand real meaning of God, making a call to shun all material and ritual practices and try to find God out of statues. GO FOR IT GUYS!!
gutlapally-anil Being an atheist, i loved each and every part of the film except that they still portrayed that the god exists. But i understand that otherwise the so called religious people can take it offensive and can make the movie banned with their stupid enough thoughts and influence. obviously, the director might have thought of commercial success of the movie and so he had put his point through simple and non offensive story line for those people who can't take it. - Only reason giving it a 9/10 rather than 10/10.But the movie is really awesome. Paresh Rawal was at his best in all those superb dialogues under the supervision of Umesh Shukla, the director who has shown such a courage in taking such a fantastic but on a sensitive topic.A must watch for everyone.
Vivekmaru45 This film is the final word on the debate that whether GOD is to blame on all the calamities that befall all human beings.Though we humans have never proved the "scientific" existence of a higher being capable of manipulating and creating life, we still spend money on religious institutions, pilgrimages, holy relics etc., etc.The film deals with a low-frequency earthquake that demolishes the shop belonging to Mr. Kanji Lalji Mehta (Paresh Rawal) who is Gujrati descent and also most importantly and atheist.Next day at the insurance office, Kanji and his neighbor Mahadev learn that the disaster claim does not cover any damage caused by natural calamities classified under "Act of God". Running out of options, Kanji decides to file a lawsuit against God. What happens next is hilarious. Hanif Qureshi (Om Puri), a poor Muslim lawyer. Qureshi, a disabled man, helps filing the case as Kanji decides to fight on his own. Legal notices are sent to the insurance company, as well as to religious priests, Siddheshwar Maharaj (Govind Namdeo), Gopi Maiyya (Poonam Jhawer) and their group's founder, Leeladhar Swamy (Mithun Chakraborthy) summoning them to the court as representatives of God on earth.Finally we see Kanji who ends up in front of a group of fundamentalists who try to kill him but he is saved by Krishna Vasudev Yadav (Akshay Kumar) who plays the role of GOD in this film.Eventually we see Krishna Vasudev Yadav giving advice to Kanji in that all of mankind's problems have a solution. That solution is the Bhagwat Gita, The Holy Bible and the Holy Qur'an. Krishna insists Kanji go over these books.Find out what happens next when you watch this film with family, friends or by yourself. If you have hi-speed internet you can watch it Online. Or rent the DVD or go to the Cinema when the price is just about right for you.There is a topic raised by Mr. P. Rawal in that a lot of milk, oil and food is wasted on Hindu ceremonies, which could have been used to feed the poor. I STRONGLY AGREE WITH MR. RAWAL. I also have a slight problem as to the casting of Akshaye Bhatia(or Akshaye Kumar) as the divine Lord Krishna. Hritik Roshan would have better suited in the role. Govind Namdeo is AWESOME as well as my 80's action hero Mithun Chakraborty. There is a good song "Go Govinda" starring Prabhu Deva, a dancer whom I respect.If you feel like buying the film, do so. It would be wise to wait a year because as you know new films are coming out at such a rate that the old ones will be sold at half-price and that's when you buy them.
